President's Welcome Message

Welcome to Nova Southeastern University!

NSU’s main campus is located in Greater Fort Lauderdale with
locations around Florida, the Bahamas and soon in Puerto Rico. We are at the
heart of the region’s academic and research hub, and just minutes from some of
the world’s best beaches. With more than 26,000 students and 152,000 alumni
around the world, you will find Shark Friends in every corner of the country –
and beyond.

NSU’s undergraduate programs are diverse and all serve as a
conduit into more than 100 graduate and professional programs. NSU boasts a
strong health professions division and our dual-admit program for undergraduate
students is great for those with who wish to pre-apply to our nationally ranked
graduate and professional programs. Our business school is the largest in
Florida and caters to future business leaders and entrepreneurs who seek a
personalized real-world education. Alumni from our school of education are
teachers and administrators across the county, including more than 300 sitting
superintendents and 38 college presidents hold our Ed.D. degree. NSU’s programs
in psychology, conflict resolution and family therapy are nationally renowned. So,
whether you are preparing to study law, computer sciences or marine biology –
NSU is the best choice to pursue higher education.

We are proud to be classified as
one of only 37 universities, out of more than 4,000, that have the dual
designation of both “high research” and “community engaged.” This did not
happen by accident. Our faculty and student researchers are changing the world
in areas such as coral reef preservation, cancer drug therapies, autism, neuro-immune
medicine, and many others. And our students, faculty and staff give back to the
community each year through approximately 2,000 different community events. NSU
is committed to providing the highest quality faculty in small classroom
environments where interaction is a key ingredient in the learning process.

I invite you to take a few minutes and look around our
website and discover NSU. Get to know our faculty, our students and programs –
I am sure you will like what you see. Our virtual campus map will give you
building-by-building access to our classrooms, athletics facilities, student
union, and libraries. And, if you are in town, please stop by to say hello and
join us for a tour of our beautiful 300-acre campus.

Sincerely,

George L. Hanbury II, Ph.D.
President and CEO
Nova Southeastern University
